Just a curiosity -- why do you call Clojure a "half-Lisp?"
- Munksgaard 14y agoNot me, but I would guess it's because, while both Common Lisp (ie. SBCL) and Clojure are both Lisp-like languages per se, Clojure departs further from "pure" Lisp than Common Lisp, in that it replaces lists with things such as vectors in a lot of places (see defn syntax).
